Odin walked towards the door. The wooden floor underneath was making creaky noise. He clenched his fists and was walking towards the door. There was a loud knocking on the door. He gripped his hand on the metal knob then turned it and the door opened.
He was cautious at first. The door opened revealing three figures. There was one woman with short hair and one with a long one. Another one with braids. They all had sour expressions on their faces.
Odin was not able to understand what were they here for. Seeing him the one with long hair speaks up,'' Hey outsider what are you doing in this house?''. '' This is not your home what are you here for?'' asked the other.
Then he was able to recall their faces. They were the same girls whom he had met the other night. He was not able to recognize them at first because he had watched them at night. But now he's able to recognize them.
'' Can't you understand what we are saying to you? What a
Odin and Rain chat for a while. Rain was starting to like his behavior towards her. He told her about the adventures he did with his pack. There was one time they had faced a group of humans also.'' They were just like us, only they can't transform that's all. But I don't think that all humans are bad. Some are bad some are good also. The hunters who are after our lives is the bad one. We should get rid of them,'' he said taking a sip of the tea she made a while ago.Rain was looking away and said,'' If there was a way for us to live together it would be so great.'''' Me too,'' he said with a smile. Like that the whole afternoon passed by. As Odin was not coming back his Beta came to search for him. While walking inside the village he came in front of Rain's house also.'' Lord, where are you? Lord?'' he called out for Odin. Odin was able to notice his presence. If he comes inside then his identity will be revealed to Rain. He ca
Rain pretended to sleep but she couldn't fall asleep after seeing that. When Bella was in deep sleep hearing her snoring she gets out of the bed. Then walks towards the living room.She took a knife with her and left the house tiptoeing towards the door. She felt bad leaving Bella behind but she had to do that. She closed the door and went out of the house.She tried to recall where he was. Near the cliff, in the village. When she was walking she heard someone calling from behind her. But they were just the people who were passing by there.She hid behind the house when they passed by. '' I was a goner there,'' she thought with a sigh. After they left she was walking again. By the time she was near the cliff, she heard them talking of people.They have to be on guard. She was hiding behind the bushes. One was instructing another,'' Keep the people near that place.''Rain was looking for Odin only. She walked towards th
'' And if something had happened to me then you would have saved me, That's why I hadn't felt afraid at all.'' A smile appeared on her face without thinking. He was shocked by that. What was this girl trying to say?A blush appeared on his face and his heart skipped a beat as if there was no one in the world other than them. Time had stopped and the world was not moving. '' It's not like I will be there by your side all the time for you. Then why are you depending on me too much?'' he asked.When she thought he was going to give a friendly response he sulked. '' I am just here with my pack. After the matter of the hunters are settled I will have to go away. Then? What are you going to do if you have to face danger after that? Who will save you? You should tell your mate to save you from all of these troubles. I am just a temporary guard for you.''She didn't want him to break her heart like that. '' I don't have my mate yet,'' she confessed loo
It was soon the next morning. Bella had been talking about no one other than Odin ever since she woke up. She had been won over by his manliness. Rain was trying to put some sense into her mind. '' Bella don't you have work? Go you have all the day to talk about him,'' Rain hurried her. '' You are right, it slipped out of my mind sorry,'' she apologized. '' Anyway, will you do the housework, today sweetie?'' Bella pleads to her. Rain nods. '' Thanks, I love you.'' After Bella leaves Rain closed the door behind her and started working on chores. While cleaning through the floor she saw something again as a premonition. The door opened and Odin came into her room saw. They also spent some time together as well. A blush appeared on her face when that happened. '' We are going to meet again? I need to cook something for him then.'' Meanwhile, Back where he and his group were. Odin and his beta were given room to stay.
Odin was taken aback thinking why he arrived in front of Rain's house even though he didn't want to. His eyes stuck to the entrance thinking Rain might come out anytime and see him. He stood still freezing as if the whole world around him has stopped moving. His beta came in front of him and waved his fingers in front of Odin trying to attract his attention. '' What happened to Lord? He's not moving. Where is he looking at exactly?'' his beta also stared at the location of Rain's house. '' Does he know this house? Why's he acting as if he has seen a dead person walking?''. '' Lord,'' his beta called again in a loud voice than before, moving him a little. Odin was back to his senses now. He stared at the face of Beta, which freaked him out. Odin pinched his nose in response to that. '' What are you doing in front of me?''. '' Ouch,'' he cried out. '' Leave my small nose alone. Ouch, leave it.'' Odin left it rig
‘’ What?’’ Rain stood with a dumbfounded expression on her face.‘’ I couldn’t understand clearly what you said there? Trying out the tart you made?’’ Odin gave a puzzled face back to her.Seeing this August went from behind him and interrupted in between them.‘’ So, what she meant to say is, that she is inviting you over to have lunch with her. Why aren’t you getting such a simple thing through your thick skull? Right Rain?’’ August asked with a grin on his face. He seemed to be enjoying the situation they were in.Rain nodded sideways in response.‘’ Would you like to have lunch with us?’’ Rain asked, with a bashful face.Odin was scratching the back of his neck in response.He couldn’t understand what to reply.His eyes were traveling to where August was standing.‘’ No need to a
‘’ What? You have cut your finger?’’ Odin asked raising his voice.‘’It’s nothing much. You Don't Have to worry.’’‘’ No! let me see,’’ he grabs hold of her hand.It was bleeding profusely.‘’ You don’t have to worry. It will heal on its own.’’Odin wasn’t gonna listen to whatever she was saying.He licked the finger and puts it inside his mouth and started sucking on it.August’s eyes went wide seeing what was happening in there.Rain herself was surprised by her actions.What was he trying to do by there? Does he care so much about her? Then why did he say that he only feels kindness for her because she’s blind?What is he trying to say for real? What does he feel for her for real?‘’ It’s better to go now. Do you heal fast or slow?’’ he
On the way back to the inn, August and Odin were walking along together. On the way, August kept staring at the back of Odin.Odin noticed this and stopped in the middle of his walk.‘’ Is there anything you want to say? I don’t mind hearing you out.’’August stared at him, then replied,’’ You seem to be too attached to her aren’t you?’’.‘’ You hardly laugh or show your emotions in front of us. Then why do you show them in front of her? Is she someone special?’’.Odin glanced back at him.‘’ And why did you come to that conclusion just by watching us only? Do you have any proof or anything like that?’’.‘’ Proof? Do you need any proof? I could see that. Anyway, I hope you would refrain yourself sometimes or forget it. Let’s go back,’’ August walked away.Odin watched him go.
Rain hugged onto her knees even more tightly.“He’s not going just because of me. I’m stopping him from enjoying.”“Even though he was looking forward to the harvesting festival dance. I’m ruining everything for him.”“I can’t do this.”“He doesn’t deserve this at all.”“I need to do something.”Odin waited outside the door. Somewhere in his heart, he was hoping that Rain would come out and join him. But he was unable to say those things from his mouth.Odin hits his back against the door as the door slightly opens.“Get away a little,” Rain said softly.Odin got up on his feet and stood in front of the door.The rain opens the door and came out, looking sideways.He became surprised.“You opened the door?”.She nodded, “Let’s go to the harvesting festival. I want to go together with you.” Odin’s eyes widened.“F-for real?”.She nodded. “I’m sorry for acting mean towards you all.”“I didn’t mean to do that.”“Can you forgive me?” she asked bowing her head.He examined her from top to
“ What’s wrong?” Sherry asked, coming forward. “she seems familiar to me. That’s why I stopped to see her. Do you recognize her?” Simon asked. “Recognize? How’s this possible?”. Sherry stepped forward and came to see the face of Bella who was standing with an astonished face. She couldn’t understand what was going on in there. “ You know me?” Bella asked. “ Are you….with the Solomon family?” asked Simon. He stared at her with a questioned look. "Ah...yes...you are talking about Rain. Yes, I'm her friend. I work under you lord." Bella bowed down holding onto the hem of her skirt. He watched her in awe. Sherry also stared at Bella. Then asked, "didn't your friend come here today?". "Are you alone?". "Ah .yes. she'll be coming later." Simon wanted to ask something more, but then he stopped himself from asking anything Any further and went on. After that everyone returned home. Bella returned home with a smiling face. She looked all around the house to find Rain who di
And, like that, the long night came to an end, and the sun rose up signaling it was morning. Although the villagers were much unhappy about the fact that people were starting to get missing from the village, they still made the arrangements for the festival. The whole village was dressed in pretty colors and arrangements. Ever since Rain’s parents were alive, this festival had been the source of joy for her and her family. During the evening, Rain was recalling about the days which she had spent along with her family during the festive times. Now that they are not here, she’s missing them more than ever. Their absence is making her feel sadder than ever. “Rain, which dress should I wear? What would you like to wear?” Bella asked, showing her the couple of dresses that she had on her hands. Rain was absent-minded. So she wasn’t able to hear what she was telling her. “Rain?” Bella called again. “Why aren’t you listening to me?” her loud voice breaks into her attention. “Huh.
“Ah…because of the rose-“ before she was able to complete her sentence he sucked onto the finger which was hurt. As the blood reached his tongue he had a familiar running down his body. As if he had tasted this before. Then he recalled that time when he woke up to his senses, and she was kissing him which she still hadn’t answered why. She noticed the change in his behavior. “W-what are you doing? Don’t do this,” she was squirming under the feeling he left on her hands. He pulled away when she was starting to feel embarrassed. “ You hadn’t said anything about the reason why you had kissed me when I wasn’t awake after the wound.” His comment left her speechless. She couldn’t utter anything. “I..I…”. Silence followed in between them. His gaze was enough to make her feel nervous. If she could tell him why she did that back, no one would have felt much relieved than her most probably. But there was no way out for her to tell him that. Tell him the fact that she’s blessed by the p
Meanwhile, Rain was cutting up eggplants while thinking about something in her mind. She was in the kitchen.The images of the premonition came back to haunt her again. She was starting to feel cold the moment she recalled them.Bella came from behind her and saw her cutting slowly, without a care in the world.She peeked over her shoulder only to spot that Rain was about to cut her finger off.That’s why she came from behind her, and grabbed hold of her hand, stopping her in the tracks."What are you doing girl? You were about to cut your hand by accident. Where is your attention?" Bella shouted."Uh... haven't noticed. Was I about to cut my fingers? Sorry.""What's the point in apologizing to me? You are the one who was in danger." Bella scolded her."Am sorry I had been careless.''"You go and do something else. I will take care of everything here." Bella sai
“Stella, what are you doing here?” Leah comments, seeing the girl who was beside Odin.She had blond hair and black eyes, with a petite figure.“I….” she lowered her head at her feet.“She had been hiding outside the door, listening to our words. Mind asking her what she was doing listening to us?” Odin asked.August was observing her actions from head to toe.Leah stepped forward and walked up to the side of Stella named girl.“What were you doing outside the door Stella? Aren’t you supposed to be with Sarah at the moment?" Leah's words made Stella look down at her feet.“I….I came to ask about the security within the village. Lady Sarah told me to know whether we will place even more guards at night or not,” she stuttered while replying. Her mouth felt dry, and her heart was beating faster than ever from the nervousness.She was sweating and panti
In a while, they reached the house of Alpha Simon. Guards have surrounded the entire house.The atmosphere was tense. They stood near the gate.“Won’t we go inside?” August asked.“Yes, let’s go.”The moment they walked inside the gate, some people spotted them and surrounded them.“Your identity?” asked one of them.“Alpha Odin and his Beta August are here, inform this to Simon he’ll understand.”In a while they accompanied them inside the house.Grace spotted them when she came downstairs.“Look who we have here, isn’t this The kind hearted Alpha Odin and his Beta?” she compliments in a teasing tone.They were standing downstairs so, hearing her comment their attention turns to her.August hadn’t met Grace so he was confused.She came down, and stood in front of them wearing a pretty smile on her
Meanwhile, Rain and Odin came back to the breakfast table while carrying the basket of eggplants in his hands.Seeing them August and Bella stopped talking.August’s eyes traveled to the expression on Rain’s face. It was sadder than before.Bella spotted the eggplants first and stood up right away.“Eggplants in this season? Am I dreaming?”.“Who gave them to us?”.Rain pushed aside Odin and stepped forward replying, “Aurelia, she came over to give some news.”“What information?” August asked out of curiosity, relaxing back on his chair.Odin went past them to the kitchen, to put the basket down.“Come and have a seat with us,” Bella made Rain sit beside hers.Rain replied,” She came to tell that the missing cases again started. And last night ten people went missing from our pack. I don’t understand why’s this
August and Bella stared at each other and choked in their food hearing Odin’s question.“W-why are you asking that question?” stuttered August, wiping away the sauce off his face.Bella stared at her food, the called, “Fill my glass, I need water.”“Coming,” replied Rain from the kitchen.She brought the glass of water from the kitchen and placed it by the side of the table.“Here.”“August? What’s wrong? Why are you so silent ever since you woke up?” Odin asked again.“It’s not a question to ask. I don’t feel like talking just all. When will we leave by the way?”.
